Noe Valley

Noe Valley is an affluent neighborhood in central San Francisco, California. The area was named for the last Mexican mayor of Yerba Buena (now San Francisco), Jose de Jesus Noe, who sold the area to a Mormon immigrant in 1854. Noe Valley was developed at the end of the 19th century and became a working-class neighborhood, being home to low-cost row houses. Successive waves of gentrification led to Noe Valley becoming an affluent neighborhood, with many young urban professionals with children living in the area. In 2013, Noe Valley had a population of 22,893.
